Answer:

  a_k=\left|\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\right|;\text{ is nondecreasing for $k>2$}

  \lim\limits_{k \to \infty} a_k =1

  The series does not converge

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u> ...

  S=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}{x_k}\\\\x_k=(-1)^k\cdot\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\\\\a_k=|x_k|

<u>Find</u>

  whether S converges.

<u>Solution</u>

The (-1)^k factor has a magnitude of 1, so the magnitude of term k can be written as ...

  \boxed{a_k=1-\dfrac{7}{k^2+4}}

This is non-decreasing for k>1 (all k-values of interest)

As k gets large, the fraction tends toward zero, so we have ...

  \boxed{\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}{a_k}=1}

Terms of the sum alternate sign, approaching a difference of 1. The series does not converge.

Nolan Walker decided to buy a used snowmobile since his credit union was offering such low interest rates. He borrowed $2,700 at
stealth61 [152]

Using the formula for simple interest, it is found that he paid $119.87 in interest.

The<u> simple interest formula</u> is given by:

E = PIt

  • E is the amount of interest earned.
  • P is the principal(the amount of money invested).
  • I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal).
  • t is the time, in years.

In this problem:

  • Borrowed $2,700, thus P = 2700
  • Interest rate of 3.5%, thus I = 0.035
  • From December 26, 2019 to February 21, 2021, there were 423 days, thus the time in years is t = \frac{423}{365} = 1.2685

Thus, the interest paid was of:

E = PIt = 2700(0.035)(1.2685) = 119.87

$119.87.

GEOMETRY. I will give brainliest
lubasha [3.4K]

Given:

A figure of a circle. A secant and tangent of the given circle.

To find:

The correct equation.

Solution:

According the intersecting tangent secant theorem, the square of tangent is equal to the property of external segment of secant and the measure of the secant.

Using intersecting tangent secant theorem, we get

6^2=x(x+5)

It can be written as

x(x+5)=6^2

The required equation is x(x+5)=6^2.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Leni [432]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+3 = 27

Subtract 3 from each side

6x+3-3=27-3

6x = 24

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 24/6

x = 4
